With the last, we are taking chances, without knowing what the long-term effects may be. Now, for the most part, they're almost certainly safe. However, that reminds me of the sign I put on my door every Halloween: "Ring doorbell for candy. We almost never eat trick-or-treaters!"<br/>&nbsp;<br/>Look at, for example, high-fructose corn syrup. Two natural ingredients, fused together. But it turns out that, at least so far in animal experiments, the body doesn't quite know what to do with it; for example, in rats, the pancreas say, "This is sugar alright!" and secrete insulin, but the cells say, "This ain't sugar!" and reject the insulin.<br/>&nbsp;<br/>Bart<br/>http://www.roadfood.com/Forums/rss-m776920.ashxFindPost/783154Fri, 04 Jul 2014 12:47:06 GMTRe:The Shocking Ingredients in Beer! (SodaDude) I don't know why "GMO" is a bad thing.&nbsp; Farming by its very nature involves humans engineering crops to suit their needs.<br> &nbsp;<br> As for the use of corn syrup, I don't see a problem with that, either.&nbsp; The beer doesn't taste sweet, so presumably the majority if not all of it gets broken down into alcohol and carbon dioxide during the fermentation process just as any other source of sugar for fermentation would.<br>http://www.roadfood.com/Forums/rss-m776920.ashxFindPost/782928Tue, 01 Jul 2014 14:39:37 GMTRe:The Shocking Ingredients in Beer! (tmiles) Nationwide, there are strong opinions on the GMO subject. Unfortunately, rather than fight a long war, on the merits, on a national basis, the antis are trying to fight a local fight and a&nbsp;nasty fight. IMO, the commerce clause applies.&nbsp;Personally, I would be better off if there was a 500% tax on non organic food, because I could then be a happy organic farmer. As a realist, I think that we should put the facts on the label, and let the consumer decide.<br> &nbsp;<br> I've said my bit, but if this thread had never started, I'd be ok with that.&nbsp;<br>http://www.roadfood.com/Forums/rss-m776920.ashxFindPost/777199Mon, 28 Apr 2014 19:35:28 GMTRe:The Shocking Ingredients in Beer! (Davydd) There is a difference between brewing with wheat and red oat vs cheap tasteless fillers like rice and corn. I also have a hard time with lime, lemon, orange, grapefruit, cherry, cinnamon and every other godawful additive marketing comes up with to lighten beer and to sell to women and girly men.
